In light of the ongoing horrors to which we as a society are subjecting ourselves and our children and, given the timidity of elected officials at the local, state and federal levels, I challenge my fellow citizens of the United States of America to:

• Unload your semi-automatic weapons.

• Place your semi-automatic weapons in their cases and your ammunition into boxes.

• Load your cased weapons and boxed ammunition into your cars.

• Drive to the closest police station.

• Turn in your semi-automatic weapons and ammo.

• Drive back home and kiss your children and grandchildren. Tell them you did it for them.

We can no longer wait for the government to solve this epidemic. We must cure it ourselves.

Lisabeth Brown, Worthington
